Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

Took more than hour for me, because I had my neighbors distracting me. All in told about an hour an half. I did discover one trick. We use the help of a floor jack to hold up the hitch as we put the bolts in. It was a big help with jack doing all the work of holding the hitch place. 35090
Product came fast and undamaged, included nice hardware and easy to follow instructions. Wiring was simple and was plug and play, real easy. I originally bought this to tow my boat (1800 lbs) but I have also used this for a couple of small campers as well. I would’ve given this product five stars but I had some issues installing the ball mount into the receiver because of a thick powder coat job. 756302
2002 Subaru Forester Great company, great design. Went on as the video describes. Less than an hour. Three pictures include installed hitch, exhaust bracket and tie downs that come completely off of the vehicle. Everything is included in the box and the instructions, while the drawings are a little technical, are superb! Just read them and you won't have a problem. We will use it to carry our MTBs with a Yakima bike carrier. 417396
Solid product, designed for easy installation. My second one of these - we have two SG Foresters and I put this hitch on both. I use the hitch for towing two PWCs (approx 1,300 lbs total) and a lighter utility trailer with no problems. I also use it to hold a 1up USA bike rack, which is pretty much in place all the time I’m not towing. It holds my rack and bike securely with no issues. My first hitch is over two years old and still looks great despite the snow and salt we have here. Installation is straightforward and all the necessary hardware is included. I was concerned about exhaust clearance compared to the Curt hitch but the Draw-Tite clears with plenty of room. The only problems with installation stem from the age of this model Forester. Depending on where you drive, you may run into some rusty nuts and bolts. An air impact driver is key if you can get access to one. The evap canister nuts were the worst on both of my cars. I had to cut them off for one Installation. The canister uses special “bolts” so you might want to order some from Subaru before you get started. Make sure you start ALL of the hitch mounting bolts before you tighten any of them. You will need to wiggle the hitch around to line them all up. I installed my hitches by myself, using a jack stand to hold one end while I started the bolts on the other side. The hitch is mostly hidden when installed. You just see the receiver, not the frame. 907041
I installed this myself in an afternoon with a couple of wrenches. It's well made and while I would never suggest going over the allowed weight limit what you do in the privacy of your own trailer is your business. I think it could take it. All I'm saying is that I have always been happy while dumping a load on this hitch. 904239

We bought this for my Son's "new to him" Forester. He's used it to haul bicycles, small trailers and even help pull a friends truck out of the mud. It has held up very well. I would recommend. 827746
This hitch is great. I put it on my 01 Subaru Forester for hauling a a 4x6 trailer. The hitch itself has a higher towing capacity than my subaru so no worries there. It was easy to install. Great hitch. 804965
Fit and finish was excellent. I've towed several thousand miles with it, no complaints! 804031
Product showed up on time. Customer service was easy to handle. Would recommend. 777937
Works great 777139
Your service was FANTASTIC! I ordered it Tuesday evening and you shipped it within six hours. It arrived here in Washington state Thursday morning! I haven't installed it yet as it's been too cold and wet out here but if it's anything like the one I purchased from you years ago for my other Subaru it'll be just fine. That one went through an accident and came out a bit twisted and bent and I was told by the insurance adjuster it was toast. A few minutes with a 50 ton press and I had it reformed to fit on a newer Subaru. It has given me years of great service. You'll always be my go to place for hitches! 774676
